WeissLaw LLP Investigates MPM Holdings, Inc. Acquisition

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of MPM Holdings, Inc. ("MPMQ" or the "Company") (OTC: MPMQ) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by a consortium of investors which includes Seoul-based chemical company, KCC Corp. (the "Investors"). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, shareholders will receive $32.50 in cash for each MPMQ share they own.

If you own MPMQ shares and wish to discuss this investigation or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact:

WeissLaw is investigating whether MPMQ's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, the Company's shares traded for $42.00 per MPMQ share, or $9.50 above the offer price, the day before the acquisition announcement. Additionally, the acquisition is a strategic transaction from which the Investors will benefit greatly. The addition of MPMQ's two dozen global manufacturing facilities will propel KCC Corp—currently ranked fifth in the world—as the second largest maker of silicones, resins, and adhesives.

Moreover, the Company announced double-digit growth in its latest financial release. It reported net sales of $704 million and segment EBITDA of $113 million in the second quarter of 2018, representing increases of 19% and 53%, respectively, when compared to the figures reported in the same period of the previous year.

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether MPMQ's Board acted in the best interests of MPMQ's public shareholders to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
